can wireshark capture warp wireless frames from the air using wifi?

I understand that Wireshark can capture Ethernet frames from Ethernet interfaces. Can wireshark also capture WARP wireless frames from the air by using a commercial Wi-Fi card?

Re: can wireshark capture warp wireless frames from the air using wifi?

If you construct the WARP wireless frames (MAC structure, PHY structure) in a way that they are compliant to the commercial WiFi card, or if you can manipulate the WiFi card parameters to accept the current WARP wireless frames, then yes.
Another way would be to use a second WARP kit to capture the WARP wireless frames and then notify that with ethernet packets sent from the WARP kit to an attached PC.
